[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 863780, member: 8362"] The locking lugs are on that end of the bolt. True welding is all about melting the two parent metals together, not about how much filler material you use. But, good weld prep always helps. Wisner doesn't make 788 bolts anymore, wish I could find one for $80, that way I could resell it for more! 788 Bolts don't seem to be out ther at all. Seems there are several good 'smiths in the OKC area that are members here, might be best. It's always harder to deal with after the customer has tried to fix it himself and costs more , too.
